Approximately 1% of the Australian and New Zealand population seeks medical assistance for a burn injury each year, and many patients presenting with burns are children. Minor burns that do not meet referral criteria can be managed by the family general practitioner (GP). If there are any concerns about the injury or progress of the burn wound healing, GPs are encouraged to contact their local burns service for advice.
The aim of this article is to provide primary healthcare clinicians with a summary of the acute management of minor burns in children.
Effective first aid for burns will minimise burn progression and alleviate pain. Appropriate wound care will promote optimal healing and potentiate favourable outcomes. Although a minor burn may not meet initial referral criteria for transfer to a specialised burn centre, GPs are encouraged to refer if there are any concerns in relation to wound healing, pain management or scarring, or if consultative advice regarding management is required.
每年约有 1%的澳大利亚和新西兰人口因烧伤寻求医疗援助，其中许多患者是儿童。不符合转诊标准的轻度烧伤可由家庭全科医生（GP）管理。如果对烧伤的情况或伤口愈合进展有任何担忧，GP 应鼓励联系当地烧伤科服务以获取建议。
本文旨在为初级保健临床医生提供儿童轻度烧伤的急性管理概述。
有效的烧伤急救可最大程度减少烧伤进展并缓解疼痛。适当的伤口护理将促进最佳愈合并带来有利的结果。尽管轻度烧伤最初可能不符合转至专门烧伤中心的转诊标准，但如果对伤口愈合、疼痛管理或瘢痕形成有任何担忧，或者需要就管理提供咨询建议，GP 应鼓励转诊。
